No sorry.

Look:

I´ve got an Exchange Account (from the Account and Sync Options, where the google account is too). I had to change my password on my Computer so i also have to change the accounts password on the phone.

I can't find an option for edit the Exchange Account, i only find an Option to delete and create e new one...

sorry for my bad english :-( hope youre able to understand :-)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shark_On_Land:
I thinking about getting this phone. But would like to hear your opinions

I have a nexus s 4g right now.

CAN you guys run cm9?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dr_gibberish:
No cyanogen of any variety... YET. It is definitely in the works. Also should be getting ICS at some point according to Samsung.

That said, this phone is awesome even running stock Gingerbread. It is incredibly fast, the screen is amazing and I think it is far and away the best android phone you can get on Sprint. It even gives the Verizon Galaxy Nexus a run for its money. I came from the Epic 4G and have not had a moments regret.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisbass:
This phone is great and so are the devs for it....if you search the interwebs there is a good CM7 kang for our phone out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Two words. USB storage. I did not like my ns4g. the ET4g is a major upgrade all around.

Ok ok I know more than two words. Sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
CM9 isn't out at all yet for our phone, but there is a WORKING CM7 Kang for our phone, which has very few bugs left to work out. It'll be picked up for nightlies soon enough, then CM9 work will begin.

An ICS leak came out today that works with our phone, but no data/wifi/phone calls/etc... because of the kernel. Probably a little while out on this one, but it's coming for sure. Sprint and Samsung have already confirmed this phone WILL get ICS.

As of now, Blazer ROM is the absolute best in my opinion. Been running it since version 1.2 and it's now on 3.4. It's updated consistently, "blaz"ingly smooth & the creator PhantomHacker is a very active member in our community.

^ Plus ICS theme & a few others :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shark_On_Land:
So is touch wiz an unforgiving whore or is it easy to get rid of?

I heard that you can't make kernels with out source. Are the ics or gb source out?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Aside from very minor cosmetic tweaks to the framework the vast majority of what is known as 'touchwiz' can be gotten around by installing an alternate launcher...once rooted you can just delete the apk and be done with the mess.

After coming from HTC devices I mortally feared the fail that was TW. Come to find out that this version of TW is actually pretty goddamned good. It's not thrilling, it doesn't scale with screen density changes and the aesthetic choices leave much to be desired (ugly garish icons, page-dots, app drawer button at the right side and seems unmovable). But it's not much more intrusive than a launcher and some native launcher widgets.....and is seriously extremely smooth as hell though and worth consideration--and I love ADWex and LP.

Source has been released for both...it's all in progress. The CM7 kang is my daily driver (and hauls ass) and last I heard agrabren was going to be working with the CM7 kang developer on CM9.

...and so far as not being able to make a kernel without source, umm, perhaps I am misunderstanding something, but, I didn't know there was any other way to make a kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
I like Touchwiz 4.0. Very well thought out. I definitely like it over vanilla and Sense.

It's simple, like vanilla, it's buttery smooth (gpu accelerated), and it has extra neat little things like notifications on lockscreen, swiping left/right (message/call default) in Contacts. Etc...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
I also like TW4.0, its actually nice. There's a good selection of ROM's available, and definitely potential in the works, just takes time. We have some great developers doing awesome things. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twoeleven99:
roms are great and getting better, meaning more roms keep coming
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
What do u mean by not making kernels from source?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shark_On_Land:
I meant if the kernel source wasn't out then there would be no kernels.

Like Motorola' slow releases
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MasterRy88:
Ok so my gf just got the GSII and she is having a problem. She uses an aux cord in her car to plug in her phone so that it goes through the speakers. When she plugs this phone in and makes a phone call, the person on the other end cannot hear her, but she can hear the other end.

Has anyone seen this before and do you have any fixes????

THANKS!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
I haven't really run into this situation, but I'd guess that when a 3.5mm plug is inserted in the phone (for the aux jack) the phone "assumes" it is a wired headset - so it is outputting call audio over that cord and into the car's sound system, and looking for audio input from a mic on that line (that doesn't exist, becuase it is just a patch cord to your head unit in the car). A couple options that I see if this is the case:

a) put the call on speaker phone - this will either put call audio on your end on the phone's external speaker or the car's stereo (not sure which) and the phone will take audio input from your end via the speakerphone's mic

b) get a bluetooth headset and use that for phone calls while plugged in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MasterRy88:
OHHH I did not think about the speakerphone thing. Thats very strange though as im pretty sure android should know better....

But yeah she has a bluetooth but isnt a big fan of using them

Thanks for the suggestions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Another option - try a car dock cable. I think this makes call audio default to speaker, but I think it can be switched to "normal" mode.

yeah i have this problem too in my car, but when im in my friend's car its fine:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MasterRy88:
hmm that is not what I wanted to hear lol

That really doesnt make any sense at all, it should be the same as its just an aux port. I had her try it with computer speakers and it was the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cs378:
It could be that you had used a bad designed audio cable. If you look at the original headphone that came with the phone, the plug has 3 parts to it (Ground, Sound, and Mic). So it could be that the no good audio cable is taking in the Mic side as well, therefore the other party is not hearing her.

If you really want this mixed 100% without worrying about the type of cable. I suggest you buy a cable with a mic on it with aux in. I am sure you can find one on monoprice.com/amazon/ebay.

Good Luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shooshi:
Hey everyone!

I was wondering if anyone else is having the problem where if you toggled your 4g to turn it off, you would lose all data entirely? I currently running winner's kang-cm9 and when I try to turn off 4g through the toggle or through the settings, I only get gray signal bars. I'm assuming I should still have 3g after turning off 4g. Is this someone that everyone is experience or is it my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilfleck:
I'm having a similar issue (stock ROM). I notice it every morning when I leave for work. I leave my place and wifi disconnects (lack of signal). Since I don't have LTE outside, it seems like it try's over and over to obtain LTE signal. LTE is spotty in my area, so it will go in and out. However, 3G sometimes fails to connect and I sit there without any signal. It's incredibly frustrating...

Last night I just flashed to Apex ROM/Kernel. This morning I waited for my car to warm up a little bit and by the time i plugged in my phone, it had a 3g connection. I will be continuing to look out for this, but I have been able to replicate the issue in my first paragraph over and over again... something is definitely wrong with the radio on our phone (CDMA).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shooshi:
Oh that happens to me a lot too because I get bad 4g in my area so a lot of times when its switching back and forth I lose data for a while.

The problem I'm having is that I would try to disable LTE/4g to save battery but would end up losing all data (Only calls and text work). On my friends thunderbolt he was able to disable 4g and retain his 3g data. As for me, I lose all data and I have to restart to regain data again when I try to disable 4g data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilfleck:
That's an interesting point. I was wondering how the other LTE VZ phones handled this situation... I think VZ/Google needs to address this in a fix ASAP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caslca:
I work in a largish company in Seattle area. We have ~5000 engineers working in the area and I posted the same question since my Verizon GNexus would completely lose all mobile data for hours at a time every 3-4 days. From what the results I got, they said that in our area they are all seeing those problems and they had different devices. I got responses from OG Droid, Droid Charge, GNexus, DroidX2, Thunderbolt.

I've been seriously considering returning my phone since this is clearly a verizon data network issue which is not limited to LTE as their press releases would have you believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilfleck:
Well see, i can get data if i toggle airplane mode or cdma to cdma/LTE. it takes me forcing the phone to start looking for 3g instead of LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dudeimgeorge:
Very serious issue. Slow reconnects on a toggle that should be unobtrusive between 4g-3g. I suffer from the same issue.

What's worse. The reception in general is terrible. And dropping from 4g to 3g ..the phone either never reestablishes 4g or take.....a. VERY long time. Like, 10-15 minutes. Unbelievable

I'm trying desperately to get google to be aware of this and I'm PRAYYYIINNGG this is a software issue.

P.s this is my third nexus... so I believe this is everyone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilfleck:
Yep... I have two other friends with this issue as well. I just got off the phone with Verizon, and they acknowledged the data connectivity issues... they said an update is in the works and is tentatively sometime Jan/February.... for the record, i'm on 4.0.3 (axi0m rom); not that it should matter ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkc120:
What I'm seeing is similar but sounds like it might be slightly different. I have a thread on it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21352288

I'm not sure if what I'm describing there is "normal" and the thing they are working on an update to address or if I have a bad radio/phone. Any thoughts?

In my case, it will go: 4G->no_data->4G in the span of about 30 seconds or so. The 4G indicator will still show for a few seconds but I'll get "no connection" kind of messages. Then I get just a solid gray triangle. About 30 seconds later, I see the bars, then the 4G indicator, then the bars turn blue.

Anyone else seeing this? This happened to the phone before this which I swapped due to this problem. What are the chances I got 2 bad ones in a row? Or is it just a similar issue to what you all are describing? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ken_photo:
Would there be a difference in quality streaming Pandora in 3G versus 4G? If there would be no difference then I could save battery drain via 3G. Since Pandora used to work fine on my OG, thought it might not matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilfleck:
It just takes longer. Otherwise no.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ken_photo:
Longer to start first song only or for each song?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicastro78:
Generally the first song in a well covered area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubber soul:
might not be quite that simple. the 4g antenna uses up more power, but won't be actively transferring data as long either. it will also be dependent upon the relative signal strengths. if you have good signal strength on 4g and poor for 3g, you might find that 3g is using more power.

in terms of quality, it probably won't matter unless the 3g speed is slow enough (due to congestion or poor signal strength) to prompt pandora to transcode the music to a smaller bitrate to avoid skipping. i'm not certain that pandora has this feature, but i know other cloud-based music players do that sort of thing and i would expect pandora to do the same. as long as you have a decent 3g connection though, streaming music will be cake without the need to transcode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ken_photo:
So, if I'm in an area with good coverage of both 4G and 3G, I would probable save battery with 3G and not suffer quality?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubber soul:
you certainly won't suffer any quality loss if you have good 3g coverage.

whether you save on battery isn't clear to me because there is a tradeoff going on:

4g consumes more battery per second than 3g.

3g is on for more seconds to complete a download.

my suggestion would be to give yourself a real test. queue up a bunch of songs in an area you typically would listen to music and have the app stream the entire playlist. the longer the playlist, the more accurate the test. open the battery status and observe the battery usage rate. repeat this test on 3g and see if there is any difference.

ideally the tests would be performed both starting with roughly the same battery percent (make sure it is less than 90% to start). and they both would have everything gps, wifi, data sync, etc. turned off. if you perform the test, report the results!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
3G is plenty to stream music. I've streamed Google Music for long periods of time while on the highway with poor signal. Having a well designed app (in the sense that Google Music prefetches the first few seconds of pending songs to eliminate a pause between tracks) helps, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
LTE will use less power because it will turn off quicker. Being more efficient is the whole point of 4G technologies.

Stand-by times are usually worse for each succceeding wireless technology. We won't be able to know that for sure until carriers deploy VoLTE and LTE IMS SMS. Right now, LTE is only used for data. Voice and SMS go over CDMA, so the phone is powering 2 radios at one time. This, combined with the early LTE chipsets, is why the LTE Nexus has such awful battery life compared to the GSM/HSPA model.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JazzMac251:
In a completely dark room, auto-brightness will sometimes randomly bump up the brightness level of the screen to, say, 25% (way too bright). In a dimly lit room, it generally stays pinned to minimum unless i move it up manually before turning auto-brightness on (way too dark).

Changes take a long time and are inconsistent. Anyone else experience this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Never been a fan of auto-brightness. It depends on the light sensor in the device, but I turn this off on most android devices as it just ends up soaking up power anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
I have noticed that as well. Specifically the in a almost completely dark room its not set at minimum brightness, and when in a dimly lit room it will be at minimum brightness.

Oddly enough when in the completely dark room if I turn off auto brightness then put it back on it will usually go down to minimum brightness. This lasts for awhile then it seems to bump back up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xzombiex66:
mine does this also..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
I do recall nearly every reviewer of the Prime saying that the auto-brightness was pretty wonky.

But with that being said, auto brightness seems rather unnecessary on pretty much any Android device. Even Froyo had native brightness widgets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copc:
Ditto here, you will find auto turned off on all my devices. Never seems to work for me correctly.

Can heavily be noticed in mobilephonetalk forums while scrolling the page with auto bright turned off. Even on max or min brightness....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
It sucks. Plain & Simple

I do wonder why they have such a hard time making Auto Brightness / Sensors that work correctly. Or at least consistantly. I used to play with it, setting the brightness level, then going to auto on several HTC devices, and while it was a LOT better than the Primes setup, it wasn't

consistent

which always caused me to give up on it. Seems a waste to even put the sensor in there when no one seems to be able to control it properly.

Maybe it IS an Android thing, for I remember no such issue with Windows Mobile devices. Hmm. Hold out any hope of ICS? Perhaps it will address it, but for now, I am still skeptical that ICS is the Holy Grail everyone claims it to be. It would have to address a LOT to be anywhere near that perfect. Who knows. Maybe it IS that good, in which case, My Prime is really gonna shine!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
I don't like it on my HTC Sensation either. Too much dimmed when outside and in bright rooms.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keitht:
Does anyone have a device with ICS that can confirm if auto brightness still acts the same? Every Android device I have had has the same issue. I have just learned to deal with it although I do not like it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawke84:
Yep HTC sensation is the same..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
I find it very good on my Sensation, suits me well. But in the Prime its well too low.

Sent throught the wormhole from my CoinInserted Sensation OG.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] elcom:
it's ok. not perfect

I also never use auto backlight, but on the TFP it seems ok.

It's not perfect but it almost always reacts pretty fast to changes in light.

When I'm in a dark room it always goes to the lowest setting.

Sometimes it seems to 'forget' to work and then I need to turn the auto setting off and then back on again and that seems to remind it to go back to work.

I have a rooted Arc S with a locked bootloader but have used the SE Extreme Tweak Installer to install ClockworkMod Recovery so I can flash mods, backup, etc.

If I use flashtool to flash an ftf (like the recent .62 release) will I lose CWM or will it remain intact allowing me to boot into it and flash a rooted kernel? (thus keeping root access).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
flashing this 62 will remove your root and you will not be able to root it (as i know)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rec71:
But if flashtool leaves CWM intact then I can boot into CWM and flash the rooted .62 kernel that is available in another thread...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
What everyone else said. If the TV/Monitor you are connecting to via HDMI isn't MHL equipped (not many are, yet), you will need to plug the MHL adapter into a power source, or it won't work.

I made a thread the other day saying how 4.0.3 seemed to fix the focus issues. Well that's great, now maybe an update needs to fix the actual quality? I mean, this is TERRIBLE. Look how dull/dark the picture is on a perfectly sunny day.

After seeing this I took a look at the exif data and it shows a shutter speed of 1/3000? SERIOUSLY?????????? It needs to be around 1/600 to look bright and not so damn dull.

We seriously need manual controls on this camera phone. I'm usually one of the first ones to say, "it's just a phone, get a real camera if you want good pictures," but this is just damn ridiculous now. Pictures look like they came from a flip phone.

What's funny is it looks bright and excellent on the phone. When I first saw it on the phone, I thought, "wow that's a nice picture." Until I looked at it on the computer...

What's wrong with the EV controls? Or even the scene settings? I feel I have pretty much control over my pictures from my GN by trying different settings or even another camera app.

I tend to take mobile shots not to seriously as I use a DSLR on a daily basis.

Mobile cameras aren't "there" yet. Period. The older nokias took great mobile pictures, but somehow the necessity for high en cameras got lost in the transitions to smartphones. I've heard the (the name we won't speak:P) 4S camera is one of the better ones on the market? Tried that?
